We are looking to buy instruments and equipment that will enable our homeless service users to explore different instruments, learn to play some basic chords, riffs, or sing and record a basic CD.

What we'll deliver:

Provide an accredited music making course

Why it's a great idea:

It will provide our service users who may have been heavily dependent on alcohol or drugs, and/or excluded from mainstream activities the opportunity to enagage in meaningful activities and work towards completing a fantastic project. Will also provide them with the opportunity to develop more skills and have fun!

Steps to get it done:

Order music equipment from supplier, employ temporary worker to run the course. Implement lesson plan.

We want to give our homeless service users the opportunity to develop a passion for music that others take for granted.

About the Project Creator

Ty Tresillian is a homeless hostel that specialises in providing support to individuals that may be heavily dependent on alcohol and/or drugs, and excluded from mainstream services.
At the hostel we are proud to offer the opportunity to our residents to acquire new skills and engage in diversionary activities. By providing these activities we hope that we can encourage service users to start a new chapter in their lives, away from dependence on substances that may be harmful to them.
We want to provide the opportunity for our residents to explore different instruments, learn to play some basic chords, riffs or sing and record a CD. Music is fulfilling for any individual and we wish to provide the opportunity to our residents to develop a passion for something that others take for granted.
We are looking to buy music equipment that would allow us to run an accredited course in music making, and also enable a staff member to run the course on a weekly basis. In addition to working towards accreditation, participants will also work towards a delivering a performance for the benefit of all hostel residents.
